the end of the beginning in sight

Only 3 more Herceptins to go - and then just the long road to hopefully nothing else. I have a mammo lined for the week after next so all fingers and toes crossed for that.  My onc is vbery happy with progress, bloods ok, coping well with Arinidex. Apart fro the stiff joints no major side effects - I read to day that a study has shown that the women who suffer from joint pain on Arimidex are in the group who have the least recurrence. That makes me feel better and able to deal with the aches.

I wish the best to everyone reading,

much love

    I finished with the girls at the oncology unit today. I feel as if I am leaving friends, they've all been so marvellous for 12 months.

    Just a pill a day now for the next 4 years and then hopefully . . . nothing. I am wondering if I will feel at a loss in 3 weeks time when I would normally be going in for treatment, who knows.

     

    To all of you just on the road, just starting out - it gets better. You will eventually come to the point where you are in the holding pattern for the rest of your life, but ALIVE. We have so much to be thankful for.

    Live every day, it's all you have. The future is NOT a given so don't miss out on something waiting for a better time. That time is NOW.

     

    much love

    I have my last Herceptin on the 25th of this month and that evening I will be having dinner with my Nursing Mothers group. We have stayed together as friends all these years after babies, and we share everything so I am thrilled to be sharing that night of sucess to the end of major treatment. One of the group is a fellow BC survivor.

    Happy times.

     So glad your results are good. The lead up to the tests is a very anxious time.  Need to celebrate. I did and went out to dinner with my wonderful husband.

    Sending big hugs your way.
